producer of mid-range of industrial gas turbines for use in power generation,
natural gas compression, and pumping systems. It provides full product
support, equipment supply, financing, plus installation and operation

Emissions

Solar Turbines introduced
SoLoNOx™ in 1993 as a low emissions option for the company's
gas turbines rated at 3.5 MW and above. SoLoNOx gas turbines use lean-premixed
combustion technology to ensure uniform air/fuel mixture and to prevent
formation of regulated pollutants. Our customers have chosen to employ
SoLoNOx equipped turbines in over 1,400 installations worldwide for a
number of reasons:

Unrivaled Experience
We have more than 13,838,000 operating hours with SoLoNOx technology
and have saved an estimated 168,138 tons of NOx emissions since 1993.

High Performance
SoLoNOx equipped turbines provide the same power and heat rate as equivalent
engine models with conventional combustion technology.

Solar's Environmental Programs group is ready to provide guidance to
our customers on their permitting needs. Our dedicated staff keeps abreast
of both domestic and international laws and regulations for both new
and existing equipment. We can provide guidance on construction and/or
operating permits and such issues as New Source Review (PSD and non-attainment
area permitting) and BACT/LAER determinations.
